Most useful iteration of an "instant' copy i've seen thus far.
How many times have been searching for that ONE particular image, but not known what search query to input?
Both Google Instant and Google Images Instant will teach users how to search smarter. Great job, keep up the great work!
- michaelhart 16y agothanks for your feedback! this sort of stuff makes me smile to myself, and even though I probably look like a loser while doing so, I'm very thankful :)
- metamemetics 16y agoI think it would be a lot better if it only displayed, say, 4-5 images max by default and of larger size. Since default google image search is slow, they need to return a ton of results. However here, since the user can refine results rapidly without their hands leaving the keyboard, I think you should only display 4, MAX 7 so they can scan all the results in a single isntant rather than performing multiple scans. Maybe have JavaScript to cycle next 5 images binded to arrow key without leaving keyboard. The human mind really only has visual memory for 5-7 objects at once, you should design it with this in mind if you want it to be truely instant. edit: another idea easier to implement. If the user types an exclamation mark as the next character, you instantly remove this from the query box. Treat it as a "Show Next 5" Indicator and load the next 5.
